Publisher Description
Dos Printer can be used to print from Dos Programs to ANY windows printing device!
Dos Printer installs a special printer driver onto the lpt1: port. When a print job is detected in the queue, Dos Printer steals it, converts it to a text file, and then processes and prints it using WINDOWS mechanisms to any WINDOWS printer that you specify.
It can also monitor for the presence of up to 4 different file names (wildcards allowed) and send them to different printers based on the file name!
It acts just like a "virtual printer driver".
It can also create pdf files, and email them.
